She’s a beard. He’s really Peter Theil’s fuckboy, and everybody knows it, but they pretend they don’t, so nobody wants to ask too many questions.

Much of America is rural, and pick-up trucks are extremely useful on a daily basis in that world. Then country music made it a metaphor for masculinity, and dopey suburbanites embraced it to enhance their personal brand image as tough guys.

I’m not wrong, it’s on their website:
At Uber, it’s our mission to reimagine the way the world moves for the better—and it’s clear that autonomous vehicles (AVs) will play a part in our future. With that in mind, we have been building Uber for the road ahead.
Then they go onto describe how they are going to use driverless vehicles for personal mobility, delivery, and freight.
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 3 days ago:
Uber’s true business model isn’t in place yet. Eventually, all cars will be self-driving, and they can ditch the drivers. The ultimate objective is to replace personal car ownership with a driving service.
Once they don’t have to pay drivers, and they have monthly fees coming in from millions of subscribers, they’ll clean up.

I found out in my senior year, that my campus had been plagued by a serial rapist for several years, going back to before i was a freshman, and the school had covered it up. I only found out about it when i learned that my roommate’s girlfriend had a sorority sister on a full-ride scholarship to keep her quiet about being raped in her freshman year.
Suddenly, the pressure to use their chaperone service became clear.

No killing required, but all religions should be heavily taxed, until they can be abolished. Weak religious freaks need to find a different way to cope with the hardships of life. That’s not asking too much, most people get by fine without religion.

Eat the note while making eye contact with the manager, and then ask for more of those tasty notes because you haven’t had all of them that you can eat.

Also, right wingers are cowards at their core, and most would probably drop the gun the first time they fire it.
There might be more right-wingers with guns, but a far higher percentage of left-wing gun owners are competent with guns. As far as I’m concerned, right-wing gun owners are where we go to steal their guns to add to our own arsenal.

The Republicans embraced Faith-Based Thinking long ago, in which people believe ANYTHING they are told, as long as it comes from an authority figure they trust, such as a politician, clergy, boss, cop, etc. That’s the perfect target for a politician (or conman) whose entire authority is built on lies.
Thats why they pandered so strongly to evangelicals, who have demonstrated their predisposition to believe to their absolute core the most outlandish fairy tales and myths written by neolithic goatherders, and tailor their entire lives around them. If they’ll believe that nonsense, they’ll believe the idiotic math of conservative economic concepts like Trickle Down, and anything else.
And that’s why Republicans have been so critical of, and hostile toward, ANY educational standards. Stupid people are easier to recruit and indoctrinate, because they lack the Critical Thinking Skills required to reject obvious propaganda, and are more receptive of an entertaining delivery over the veracity of the message.
HitlerPig even said it out loud: “I love the poorly educated.” Faith-based Thinking is why.

For now. Eventually it won’t be about color or religion or citizenship, it will be about political beliefs and ideas, and EVERYBODY will be invited to play.

Because they know something the rest of us don’t - that they will never have to pander for votes ever again, because there will never be another election on the country.

During HitlerPig 1.0, Erdogan came to America for a meeting with HitlerPig. As he was coming out, there were protesters to meet him. Erdogan ordered his security team to assault the protesters, and they viciously beat numerous peaceful protesters. HitlerPig said and did nothing about it. He allowed a foreign security force to come to America and severely assault people for exercising their 1st Amendment rights.
- Comment on Commerce Secretary Lutnick says tariff exemptions for electronics are only temporary: Lutnick said "semiconductor tariffs" will likely come in "a month or two.". 1 week ago:
My first presidential election was in 1980. I have voted in every election since, and I have NEVER voted for a candidate I liked. The best I could ever hope for was the lesser of two evils, and sometimes the difference wasn’t so wide.
But that wasn’t the case in 2024, where the difference between the two sides was far wider than I have ever experienced. I am very distressed at the situation in Haza, and I did not support Biden’s weak, cowardly approach at all, but I also knew that Trump’s approach was going to be far, far worse. And Harris’ approach was an an unknown, since she refused to say anything that signalled any difference in policy from Biden.
But all of it is just blathering because that didnt make any difference in this election. It was totally rigged, and we ALL know it.

I caught that the instant he said it. So they are planning another round of Market Manipulation on a month or two, got it.
We’ve already had 3 rounds, in less than 90 days. It seemed like his 90 day pause on this last round was a bit longer because he wanted to let it cool down, but I knew he wouldn’t be able to resist the lure of dirty money at the expense of the poors.
I’m happy for the heads up. Unfortunately, I dont have the kind of money required to take full advantage of this, but at least Ill know to hang on.
